223 POOR SURVIVAL INSTINCTS (2/2)

”Don't worry about it.�� She waved her small hand. ”It happened over a year ago.”

Zhong Tian and Chu Ling looked at each other. Hu Lei saw the silent communication and laughed a little. ”You are wondering why I didn't come back sooner, aren't you?” She didn't wait for a response. ”I had to finish the contract my father signed. His employer was a bit of a stickler.”

After that, the two older people did not ask more questions.

A while later, the door opened and a tall man stepped into the house. His aura was powerful and drew the attention of all the people in the room. However, there was something unusual. Behind him, there was a small person with a bowed head.

The young boy raised his head and peeked into the room. Immediately, his large eyes lit up and he rushed in and stood before her. ”Little big sister Lei, what are you doing here?”

Hu Lei looked at the boy flatly. ”What are you doing here? Didn't you know where you were going?”

The boy shook his head. He really hadn't thought about such things.

”Do you just follow strangers if they say so?” She felt that his survival instincts were poor.

”Big brother Zhong is not a stranger.”

It took a moment to realise that Ah-Feng really wasn't a stranger to Fai. After all, he had met him a while ago when he had brought him to his hospital. They could not be considered unfamiliar.

She also did not know that Zhong Feng had often visited the young boy when he had been very sick because he was the only true family that Hu Lei had had. He had felt that it was his responsibility to take care of the child.

If anything, Hu Lei was the stranger to Fai.
